I've finally made it home after a little over 3 weeks gone away. I've got some of the flight pictures from the GPSL on the site. We did get some images of other balloons in flight. I was just going over the video from the flight and along with short streaks there are also spots representing other balloons. It was pretty cool and I'll get some still shots from the video to put up. I also flew the microhunt as an emergency df beacon but didn't need it as the flight landed about 100 yds from us. How

The launch went perfect today. There was no ground wind and cloud cover was around 10%. We maxed out around 75 k ft and the tracking went perfect. We actually got to see the whole thing land. I took plenty of pics and will get them on line as soon as possible. More to come soon, right now I'm stressed for time because I have another workshop to attend.

One reason I came to the GPSL is to make contacts within the field of high altitude ballooning and I am definitely doing that. I have meet an engineer who works for NASA in Maryland, yes that's right, Maryland. Anyway, he and I got to talking and we have some goals that are very similar and have already expressed the need to maintain contact after the conference. The activities today, tour of the Air Force Academe, Olympic Training Facility, and the Flying W were terrific.
